say..wigums, I tried a bunch of dark themes and most had the same text issue as dusk but as posted in the other thread the london smoke is not bad but if you want BLACK with white then try xfce-black, it seems to work for me with firefox so likely the other sites. think it is the white text with dusk as it does the search but you can not see the text because it is white.

we change the name to vector-buntu and write a 2 word HOW-TO of adding a user to sudo

LOL.....then you would have them trying to install from Ubuntu software center...... and trying to install every .deb file around only to find it just won't work.....fix for that is rename: gslapt-buntu.......but then they will be complaining of system crashes and brake-ages......

Thunking is good. Rather than vectubuntu though I would like to see Vector - Law, Vector - Business and Vector - med, downloadable or on DVD. To my mind, Vector's main attraction is its simplicity and stability. 7.1 follows and expands on this. Excepting a few George Bush types, there is no one alive today who could not load VL 7.1. If it came packaged with a complete set of tools that, say, lawyers need (Open office, google chrome, etm, libreoffice etc), they might even buy it. The order form could be a questionnaire, asking the purchaser to in effect pick and choose among various softwares applicable to his field or profession. Force him to put it in a root directory which leaves his or her data alone, and the guy could change his mind all he wants. With fed ex or amazon, he could have the new disk the next day. Put out updates every couple of months. She could then concentrate on being a doctor rather than a computer jock doctor.

You might be right. Perhaps Vector should just put out separate law, business and medical DVDs with no options to customize. Put on the best programs for each and send out new DVDs with the same, plus any updated or new stuff (which passes muster) every month. For a subscription fee. User just puts in dvd and it completely rewrites his root file. Henry Ford comes to mind here, paraphrasing: "You can have any color you want, so long as it is black." Use the money to publicize Vector. Sell subscriptions for $50 per year. There are professional computer guys and girls and professional non-computer guys (and girls). A computer professional does not need to know about medicine to make a computer sing. A medical professional should not need to know squat about computers other than how to use the programs.

The software profession is now well seasoned. There is little new coming out. Mostly just guys trying to make a buck by repackaging of old stuff. I know an outfit that put out software "updates" not based on anything new, but rather based solely on its revenue requirements. I still use dos foxpro to keep track of crucial office info and I can instantly search anything I put on foxpro since 1995.
